Now, notice the same sequence for the root user: bombadillo:~ # locale LANG=POSIX LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 LC_NUMERIC="POSIX" LC_TIME="POSIX" LC_COLLATE="POSIX" LC_MONETARY="POSIX" LC_MESSAGES="POSIX" LC_PAPER="POSIX" LC_NAME="POSIX" LC_ADDRESS="POSIX" LC_TELEPHONE="POSIX" LC_MEASUREMENT="POSIX" LC_IDENTIFICATION="POSIX" LC_ALL= bombadillo:~ # date Sat Dec 26 11:16:34 CET 2009 bombadillo:~ # LC_TIME=es_ES.utf8 date sáb dic 26 11:16:44 CET 2009 bombadillo:~ # It works here. Is there a locale permission problem, perhaps? Now, the same sequence for the same user (cer) in an xterm inside Gnome, works fine: cer@bombadillo:~/Bugzillas> locale LANG=en_US.UTF-8 LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8" LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8" LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8" LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8" LC_MONETARY="en_US.UTF-8" LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8" LC_PAPER="en_US.UTF-8" LC_NAME="en_US.UTF-8" LC_ADDRESS="en_US.UTF-8" LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.UTF-8" LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.UTF-8" LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.UTF-8" LC_ALL= cer@bombadillo:~/Bugzillas> date Sat Dec 26 11:19:44 CET 2009 cer@bombadillo:~/Bugzillas> LC_TIME=es_ES.utf8 date sáb dic 26 11:19:52 CET 2009 cer@bombadillo:~/Bugzillas> I can replicate this problem in my older machine running oS 11.0 -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
